Wow, it is getting difficult to keep up with all the records and milestones on the M157 5.5 liter (63 AMG bi-turbo) V8 as tuners compete for supremacy Renntech was able to set a new milestone by pushing the motor over 700 wheel horsepower on pump gas. There are other tuners in the 700's but they are currently all on race fuel 100+ octane. Renntech was able to do 725 wheel horsepower on a dynojet in STD correction on standard 93 octane pump fuel.

I'm sure they can. But, have anyone done 9's with N2o yet with a AMG63?

Not a 9'second pass but basically 9 second pass .. Ecambell ran a 10.01 and has the mb/amg trap speed record at 144mph and that was all boost no nitrous i believe they are 100whp up from thentime they did that run so im sure well see a 9 sec run soon no nitrous from either him or Jrcart. Plus we saw at no fly zone what a basic non built trans stage 3 bs did to the turbo upgraded e63 im sure the big dog clk's would spank it for now will be interesting to see .. Hows the MCT trans behaving with all this ridiculous torque?? Was it necessary to build the trans? I dont believe weistec upgraded it on their e63

BMW is like 10 years behind in tech. The v12 biturbos from 2003 are better engines than these new 2012 4.4 overboosted pieces of crap in the M5's

That's not true whatsoever the S63TU is a much, much more advanced motor than the Benz V12's. They only make power due to the big torque from 12 cylinder and big displacement. They have junk manifolds with relatively small turbos. The heads suck, the valvetrain sucks, they aren't all that reliable, the cams sucks, they aren't technology advanced, etc.

When it's ready we can race at the strip if you like. The timeline is irrelevant unless your car is going somewhere.

My personal feeling is that by the time you have your e85 issues sorted, my clk could be in Europe.

If you wish, we can meet at tx2k which gives you almost a year to sort your sht out. You know I have a very good friend in Texas who builds cars and i will have a car at that event. I am not quite as harsh as our mutual friend but I will tell you that you will need some big numbers as to not embarrass yourself.

I don't think it's fair to comment without knowing, and this comment is not applicable to any issues.

You have a slightly over inflated view as to how quick your car is. The Mercedes scene simply is slower than the BMW scene, fact. There are dozens of BMW's that would embarrass your CLK. I mean flat out embarrass. Let's be realistic here, ok? You have 14 miles per hour of trap speed on me from when I was in the 570 wheel range. Um...

Regardless, that doesn't matter to me I just want a comparison that is beneficial to the websites nothing more and nothing less.

I'll probably have a different car a year from now.

Dude, read my post and tell me anywhere where I said my CLK would be at Texas...i said i would have a car there. If I wanted to be screwed by some stripped out drag only BMW I would have a tattoo saying "fuk me" on my arm.

Never heard of anyone having problems with the turbos/manifolds/heads/valve train and cams.

Though those old cars from 2003 are still quicker and the engines are still here 10 years later with no issues...

What's up with BMW nowadays anyways? Is the 3 series still their fastest track car?

If you're referring to my car it isn't drag only or stripped, street car. Regardless, I just want to get out on the strip.
